During our latest traveling, we succeeded in that George Perez
receiving our message from ComixZone! He looked like my cute (but
impolite) uncle and when you spoke to him directly, it was truly easy.
Here is the message he wrote.

To all my fans in Japan:
Thank you all for your support throughout the years. I had little
idea that my work had found such a loyal audience in a country so far
away. Such is the magic of comic books. I am humbled by your attention
and honored by your appreciation. Perhaps someday I shall have the
unique pleasure of meeting more of you face-to-face.

Sincerely,
George Perez

Getting a sketch from George Perez
motivated us to actually get up the next sleep-deprived morning. A line
formed halfway around the CrossGen booth the moment he sat down, and
we were very lucky to be one of the first people in line. Between
Saturday and Sunday, George spent 12 hours doing sketches and signing
autographs.

Note: Although
Perez's name appears in the CrossGen one-page ad, I was disappointed to
not see his name mentioned amoung the "Featured Guests" (as say, Mark
Waid was mentioned in the guest as well as the CrossGen page), as the
featured guest includes a short biography and description of the artist
or writer. Another note to make is that Booth 515 is the largest and
prominently placed booth in the building on the newsletter, but as seen
on their website, it looks like the other tables surrounding it.

As far as I know now, Mr. Perez should be at the show all three days [ on March 2-4, 2001 at the MegaConvention ]. To be safe he will definitely be there on Saturday [ March 3rd ]. He has not yet given us his schedule.
